Since 2024 is coming to a close, let’s look back at this year.
The summary of 2024
In summary, my 2024 was ‘the year of changing stage.’ Although it was stressful, I was satisfied with this year.
My life changed dramatically this year. There was a clear split between the first half and the second half. The first half was the period of complete resolution of my mental problems. It fulfilled my mind. In the second half, I migrated to the countryside area of Oita Prefecture. Although it was forced, it turned out to be better for my life.
In other words, the stage of my life has changed from mental to material.
This year was long for me. It feels like years ago that I was talking about an inferiority complex. It has been a dense year.
The concepts I created earlier this year
Let’s look back at the concepts I created earlier this year. There were 5 concepts as follows:
- The Cross-Judging Method
- Mental duality
- 6 Subconscious Layers
- Prepare and wait
- Super Long-Term Investment
Let me explain them.
1) The Cross-Judging Method (Tag: cross-judging method)
This was the final touch that solved my inferiority complex. (The summary of it is in this article.) You may remember in the following image:
This method is a way to balance our minds. We can have a stable mental state by dividing our values into two axes.
This is my conclusion about solving an inferiority complex.
2) Mental duality (Tag: mental duality)
Since I created the Cross-Judging method, I have often used the concept of mental duality. These concepts are linked.
We have mental duality. Although it looks contradictory, it constitutes us. In other words, we are not simple. We always have contradictory wants in our minds. That is natural.
In my case, I have two senses: empathy and logical sense. Sometimes, I want to move emotionally but sometimes logically. Balancing and fulfilling them satisfies my life.
This concept allowed me to behave inconsistently. I don’t have to be consistent. That relaxed me and allowed me to decide on my own.
3) 6 Subconscious Layers (Tag: 6 subconscious layers)
This was a concept that explained our mental structure. We can find subconscious wants by this framework.
I didn’t talk about it so much, but this is useful to understand our mental work.
4) Prepare and wait (Tag: prepare and wait)
I love this concept. I still use this concept whenever I have to decide something.
This is a concept about how to create value with a calm mind. If we are empathic and creative, preparing and waiting for the next opportunity could be our main style.
We divide our state into two stages: preparing and waiting. In the preparation stage, we can prepare and focus on it. On the other hand, in the waiting stage, we just wait for the result.
This frees us from impatience and unnecessary struggle. In addition, we can give our all.
This concept helped me during my move these months.
5) Super-Long-Term Investment (Tag: super-long-term investment)
The last concept is the super-long-term investment. I realized I like doing things in the long term.
This is my approach to investing in the long term.
How my logic helped me
Those concepts helped me a lot.
Although I still struggle to balance my mind, that is the level of my duality. I no longer get lost at the level of an inferiority complex.
These two levels are different. If we struggle at the level of an inferiority complex, we have mental conflicts that feel like tearing our hearts apart. On the other hand, when we have conflicts at the level of our duality, we don’t have so much pain. This is because we can change our attitudes more easily.
In the case of my move, I had to switch my mind from the stable state (empathy dominance) to the changing state (logical sense dominance). Although it took time to switch, I didn’t feel pain because I had both senses.
Conclusion
Anyway, they are the concepts I created earlier this year. They helped me change my life.
This year was also great. My dream of living in the countryside came true. Although it was not still perfect, the quality of my life improved solidly.
I am grateful for the result of this year and for you, too. Thank you for reading this blog this year.
Let’s make next year a good one.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
